I believe there was a dedicated CW FDNY channel. Most of the transmissions were for the radio man for "Ladder 5 no MDT" but there would also be transmissions for extra alarm fires.

Can this be monitored on Broadcastify?Thanx.

Best wishes for both gentlemen and for many more.

It appears that Queens and Manhattan are off line on the Open site.
